Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses full code samples to detail an evolutionary algorithm technique that apparently hasn't been published before. The goal of a combinatorial optimization ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We consider partitioning algorithms for the approximate solution of large instances of the traveling-salesman problem in the plane. These ...

Determining the precise integrality gap for the subtour linear programming (LP) relaxation of the traveling salesman problem is a significant open question, with little progress made in thirty years ...

The goal of a combinatorial optimization problem is to find a set of distinct integer values that minimizes some cost function. The most famous example is the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). There ...
